Basic Education

There are 7 comprehensive schools in the Sotkamo municipality’s educational administration, including 6 primary schools and one secondary school.

A school district is defined for each comprehensive school. A pupil’s nearest school is the school whose school district he or she lives in. A pupil can also apply to a school other than the school in his or her own school district. In that case, the municipality does not have the transportation obligation.
